Non-Fiction Memoir
Funny people don't always have funny childhoods. Leaving Home is Buchwald's tale of a painful childhood, which took him from various shelters to a series of foster homes to New York's Hebrew Orphan Asylum --all before age fifteen. His story is compelling, and he tells it in his own indescribable way. Buchwald relates the story as if conversing over a cup of coffee.
